Legend Of Lothian (PD Soft)

We're in RPG country with Legend Of Lothian. The King of the land of Mercia has been put under a powerful sleeping spell. You, a humble shepherd, have been chosen by the Gods to save Mercia from chaos. By exploring Mercia and its many towns and cities you must discover a cure for the King's ailment. Already foul Orks have started invading the land so there's plenty of opportunities for a good ruck.

Graphically, Legend Of Lothian is no great shakes - you and the people you meet are depicted as white unanimated outlines, for example. That said, some of the portraits, which pop up when you interact with somebody, are quite nice. Compared to Ultima V, Legend Of Lothian lacks depth but then again it comes on one disk and there's little disk-swapping so there you go.

Not my cup of tea, to be honest, but it might well be yours.
